Smegma Could Be an Issue for Those With an Intact Penis

Posted by John Dugan on Tuesday, January 28, 2020, In : Men's Health 

Smegma. It’s an unappealing name for an unappealing penis health issue. Guys have heard of it, but many don’t really know what it is. In the United States, that’s not surprising, for smegma is really only an issue for guys with an intact penis. (However, it should be noted that women can also produce smegma, so a circumcised man could theoretically have encountered it with a female partner.) Therefore, some basic information on smegma follows.

What is it, exactly?

Smegma 101: What It Is and How to Deal with It

Posted by John Dugan on Saturday, January 5, 2019, In : Men's Health 

Smegma…it seems to be a dirty, dirty word. Point in fact, it is literally a really clean word. It comes from the Latin meaning soap or to cleanse. So, if it has a squeaky-clean origin, then why do people today associate it with a nasty white funk hiding in a guy’s junk?

Well, it’s because people often hear about smegma when it’s so far gone that it’s causing problems. It’s actually part of a normal daily detoxifying process that happens naturally. Smegma is the end result of clea...

Posted by John Dugan on Monday, October 8, 2018, In : Men's Health 

People may want the funk, but not the chunky white smelling kind. That's right – smegma. Smegma didn't start out as all bad. Smegma is actually the end-result of the body's masterful self-cleaning skills and is an odorific concoction of oil, dead skin cells, and other fluids.

Smegma Symptoms: A Normal Male Complaint?

Posted by John Dugan on Monday, September 17, 2018, In : Men's Health 

The human body is pretty masterful at cleaning itself, isn’t it? Think of all the daily detoxifying processes that happen naturally - the kidneys, bowels, sweat glands, lungs, and liver all work together to rid the body of unpleasant or unhealthy waste materials. Sometimes, all that cleaning can result in a substance that doesn’t go away on its own. Smegma is one such infamous materials found in males. This cheesy substance is an accumulation of oil, dead skin cells, and other bodily flu...

When Is Circumcision Necessary? What Men Need to Know

Posted by John Dugan on Saturday, June 16, 2018, In : Men's Health 

While it’s typically done as an infant, many men opt to undergo a circumcision later in life. Having a circumcised member is fairly common in the U.S.; among men between the ages of 14 to 59, 81 percent are circumcised. That overwhelming number may make a man question: is circumcision necessary?

While most of those circumcisions happen within days of a baby boy’s birth, more and more often, men are choosing to make this decision in adulthood. Ultimately, circumcision is a personal choi...

All men will deal with penis problems at some point in their life, but those that are uncircumcised have a host of issues that they’re especially vulnerable to.

The Best Smegma Treatment Plan for Good Penis Health

Posted by John Dugan on Friday, November 18, 2016, In : Men's Health 

Let’s be honest: even the word ‘smegma’ is a little off-putting. Smegma is the natural accumulation of dead skin cells and fluids secreted by the sebaceous glands in the foreskin. This stuff builds up in the area between the foreskin and the glans, and eventually results in a cheesy, white substance that can smell rather unpleasant. Removing this buildup on a regular basis is an integral part of excellent penis care .

The good news is that smegma is entirely natural and can be contro...

From young boys to grown men, many males have questions about their intact penises that have never been explicitly answered by parents or teachers.

There’s no need for such mystery around something most men in the...

Smegma Causes, Symptoms and Treatments

Posted by John Dugan on Tuesday, July 24, 2012, In : Penis Health 

Dead skin cells and sebum oils combine beneath the penis foreskin, and appear as small white lumps. This is known as smegma. While it may be alarming when first noticed, it is a natural occurrence and helps to promote lubrication between the glans and the foreskin. Smegma should be removed through normal washing processes, but in some cases when hygiene is low or washing under the foreskin difficult, smegma may build up and causes problems further down the track. Regular washing, penis health...
